Soumyasaurus was a tiny, plant-eating dinosaur relative that lived in what is now Texas. It was smaller than a cat and had a beak for snipping plants. Scientists only found a piece of its jaw, so it is still a bit of a mystery.1 3

Prettige feite

Soumyasaurus is known from only one small, poorly preserved left jawbone that is less than 3 cm long.1

Its name honors Soumya, the son of paleontologist Sankar Chatterjee, who also named Shuvosaurus after his other son.1

The species name 'aenigmaticus' means 'enigma' or 'riddle' in Latin, because the fossil is so hard to study.1

Soumyasaurus had teeth that were fused to its jaw bone by a rim of fibrous bone, a trait shared with other silesaurids.1

Unlike many other silesaurids, Soumyasaurus had smooth, conical teeth instead of leaf-shaped ones.1

The tip of its jaw is missing, so scientists do not know if it had a beak like other silesaurids.1

Soumyasaurus lived about 220 million years ago during the Late Triassic period.1

KI-prent van Soumyasaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Soumyasaurus dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Soumyasaurus
Benoem deur: Sarigul et al. 20183
Groep: Plantvreters met snawels
Familie / klade: Silesauridae3
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 227 tot 206 miljoen jaar (Norian)3
Rotsformasies: Cooper Canyon3
Lande: VSA3
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Soumyasaurus was named in 2018 by paleontologists Volkan Sarıgül, Federico Agnolín, and Sankar Chatterjee based on a jawbone found in the Post Quarry of Texas.1 3
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure whether Soumyasaurus was a true dinosaur or a close dinosaur relative, because its fossils are so incomplete.1
